Beolink 5000 keeps reverting to one way mode.

[matador]

Hi everyone,

I use a Beolink 5000 in one way mode to control things in my office.

Unfortunatly the remote seems to regularly return to two way mode making it complicated to use.

At first I thought it was a problem with battery contact: loose batteries cut power tus reverting it to initial state (two way).
I secured battery contacts si I think I can rule out this cause.

Do any of you experience this or have any idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

Mine has the same problem from the beginning, with a 2 way Beovision and a 1 way Beocenter.

I also explored the “batteries way” with no success. I think it’s software-related.

The TV is gone, but the probem remains and I never found any way to solve it, unfortunately.

So if someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Yann.

I’ve seen that when using normal non-rechargeable batteries on the Beolink 5000s that I’ve renovated. The minus pad is often to small and create bad contact in the battery bay, especially the midle one. . Problem was solved by using rechargeable batteries (Ikea LADDA) where the minus pad is bigger.

 

Hope this can help.

Thank you Steffen,

I use Ladda batteries: I like to keep it all “nothern”!

And I’ve add aluminium foil pads to secure the contacts.

Maybe a hint,

Because of my setup (two Beosound Daisy-chained) and mu usage (once one, once the second, once both…) I need to fiddle with the “LINK” prefix key.
Sometimes when I need to shut all down I make a long press on the “Stand-by” key that turn all off.

I wonder if this do not make the remote revert to two way mode., because to change the mode, process say you must turn off the remote with a long press on “STBY”.) barely similar to taking the batteries out and in the remote.
